Title: Harmonization of Standards for Fire Protection and Extinguishing Equipment

Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes to amend its regulations for fire prevention, protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment on inspected and uninspected vessels. The proposed rules would harmonize the Coast Guard's regulations with the appropriate national and international consensus standards for fire prevention, protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment on inspected and uninspected vessels. In addition, the proposed rules would make additional specific changes to ensure that the Coasts Guard's regulations remain current and address advances in new fire protections, prevention, detection, and extinguishing equipment technologies.
